DIN ETHERGATE Mk2

The ENTTEC DIN Ethergate Mk2 is a 2-universe bi-directional Ethernet to DMX/RDM converter in a compact 4-module DIN-rail form factor, supporting Art-Net, sACN, KiNet, and ESP with PoE or 12–24V DC power input.

From the Manufacturer

The DIN Ethergate Mk2 is a reliable DMX node designed for architectural, commercial, and entertainment installations. It supports 2 universes of bi-directional DMX512-A conversion with Art-RDM, and Overdrive Mode enables control of up to 4,096 channels per port at higher transmission speeds of 500K, 750K, or 1000K for compatible fixtures. Dual Ethernet ports — one with PoE — allow easy daisy-chaining across an installation, while configuration and firmware updates are managed entirely through a localhost web interface accessible from any computer on the network. Its slim 4 DIN-module electrically-insulated housing supports both TS35 DIN-rail and surface mounting, and pluggable terminal blocks and built-in DMX termination simplify wiring on site.

All ENTTEC Ethernet hardware accepts sACN Sync and ArtSync to fully synchronize Art-Net data across all output ports and across the installation when receiving Art-Net from the same source. A 'Current Port Buffer' in the web interface allows live DMX values to be viewed for easy troubleshooting. Upon receiving power, the device is ready to operate within seconds. Note: Overdrive Mode (DMX500K/750K/1000K) is incompatible with standard DMX512-A fixtures and does not conform to ANSI E1.11 – 2024; use only with Overdrive-compatible fixtures.
